THE GUARDIAN: THIS WEEK'S NEW EXHIBITIONS

Gary Webb's 'Dreamy Bathroom' is a 3.5m confection that resembles a silvery cartoon mushroom cloud. The organically lumpy and determinedly manmade offerings in young Brazilian-American artist Juliana Cerqueira Leite's exhibition, meanwhile, are the total opposite. Created with clay, one of the hanging sculptures on show here resembles fossilised animal carcasses or giant fungi. 'Into (Fat)' was cast from the impressions made by the artist's body sinking into one-and-a-half tonnes of animal fat. Other works closing the gap between maker and made include 'Climb', a knobbly stalagmite recording her struggle upwards through a tunnel of clay.
